Formosa Izakaya in Birmingham

I've ordered braised pork rice for takeout many times, and every time I think it's pretty good, I just want to come to the store to eat it once. Everyone else is fine. What are you pulling on that long-haired cashier? What are you pulling? He kept a big face the whole time and turned around before he finished speaking. Who owes you? Do you think you are cool? It’s really unlucky to have a meal. Anyone who wants to be raped while eating should come and try the waiter’s 250-like attitude🤮🤮Asians don’t have water to drink, but white people come in and bring water to them immediately, even with a smile on their faces. , I observed this at several tables. What a weird operation 👎🤮I sincerely advise the boss to take good care of this eldest sister. Whoever eats is there to be upset. It doesn’t matter what the service attitude is, but don’t let others eat unluckily 😓

I visited at noon time, not busy. Super nice and friendly staff and boss. Authentic Taiwan food and definitely will return to try other dishes.

Went with friends. Good ambience. Great Taiwanese food. I struggled to pin point the place as the board is not very visible Looks like a wooden board without any writing. Hey owner please make the board colourful, why you want to hide? 😀

Just some awsome food bursting with umami and a lovely calm atmosphere

Tasty food at very good prices, we loved it. Nice decor also.

We had to wait for a long time for the food. The taste isn't that good as well. And there weren't a lot of customers in the restaurant.

The service is just horrible, extremely low operational efficiency. Customers have to go to counter to get utensil, menu and wait for like 10mins to just order the food because the staff is too busy to care. They don’t even apologise on that (seems they take it for granted) Disappointing service. We saw somebody (other customers) have to do everything on their own , went out like 5 times to get whatever they needed … Service charge was mandatory tho…. Food overall is fine mixing with TW and Japanese dishes. The service (front line workers) just ruin the experience and the food.

I came and understood little of the map. So I asked the waitress for help. She explained to me very slowly and in clear English what each dish was. Because there wasn't the right one for me, we put something together together and it was great! Delicious! Very reasonable price and the service was so kind to me.

Tasty Taiwanese food, can't say it's 100% authentic but it's definitely close :)

Great place to have Japanese food. The service is good and they have wide selection of items. The portions are big for prices.

We ordered the mixed grill. Waited for one hour until it was served. Especially, people who sitting next table ordered half hour later already finish their starters, we still did not get anything. Poor management. Food is terrible, but drinks are nice. The rib is not well cooked. Difficult to chew the meat.

Disappointing overall. Unsatisfactory / worst service I have ever encountered. Please don’t expect much service , they lack staff at the front line, we had to wait for 10mins to even ask them for a menu (and we literally had to walk up and get it on our own at the end). Other customers had to walk into their counter / shelf to get utensils, tissues, etc because they were too busy to care. And we saw that there was another customer having to walk out to order / ask for anything eg sauce, at the counter directly few times because the staff was not available at all . Somebody even had to wait for more than 10mins for few cans of soft drinks. The service charge was mandatory which I think was not fair with the service they gave… Food overall was ok in terms of Japanese and TW cuisines. Please do consider hiring more staff / improving the operation… it really impacts the whole experience.

Delightful restaurant. Atmosphere was relaxing and pleasant, staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was to die for. The cocktail I had was unique and very well prepared as well! Highly recommend.

pretty interior, relaxed atmosphere and friendly polite staff. we stuck to the vegetarian section. absolutely delicious options, we ordered 4 starters and one main to share and had to take the main to-go since we were so full. my favourites were the fried oyster mushroom (a bit too salty but great texture) and the pan-fried veggie dumplings, so good. we asked for tap water and they brought a glass bottle, which was a kind detail. would go again!

Great atmosphere, delicious food & the BEST service (it was the highlight of the meal). Shout-out to our sweet waiters, Jacaranda (wasn't able to get the other name), they were so thoughtful, easy to talk to with good recommendations. Also always noticing if our glasses are empty or when I dropped my chopsticks - didn't need to ask, she came with a new pair instantly. Highly recommend!

Food is always good, price ain't too bad and the staff always warm and welcoming.

Maybe not every dish is the same as in Taiwan. The braised chicken drumstick bento is OK. Others contain hot soy milk. It would be even more perfect if there is sugar-free soy milk.

It was our first time here and everything that we tried was great and tasty. 😊 I would recommend and favourite were the chicken Omurice, the honey tea and the 3 cup Squid.

Probé este restaurante de cocina taiwanesa cuando visité Birmingham. Debido a mi alergia al aceite de sésamo, el personal era muy servicial y me comprobaron con los chefs de cocina qué platos son seguros para mí para disfrutar. Fui por el filete de tapanyaki (carne de res) y el personal me recomendó un poco de tofu rebozado con ajo. Ha sido una cena hermosa; mi sonrisa fue tan duradera durante toda la comida. El personal hizo el retoque fantástico de la crítica, ya que la energía y los modales serviciales del personal me están haciendo sentir tan bienvenido. Sin duda volveré a visitar la próxima vez en Birmingham.

Extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The waitress was incredibly impolite and barely acknowledged us. She didn’t smile once and seemed uninterested in serving customers. While the food was okay, the lack of basic courtesy ruined the entire meal. I won’t be returning.

Braised pork rice, Popcora chicken in peppery salt, and Lemon Aiyu jelly bubbles are all delicious, especially the Braised pork rice with its accompanying Dongpo pork - a classic Taiwanese flavor I’ve missed As for a must-order Taiwanese dish, beef noodle, this one uses beef brisket instead of shank, and the broth is a lighter version. Those who prefer a richer broth might find this one a bit mild.

You must eat lunch, finish talking.

11/10 amazing food, and such lovely people that work there. Highly recommended thank you

Incredible food at an amazing price. We had the beef skewers, Korean fried chicken, the Japanese beef bowl and the three cup squid. All of it was cooked to perfection and filled with so much flavour - even the side of fried rice was extremely tasty. Portions are very generous too. The menu has a large vegetarian section and a decent range of drinks.

Yummy! ! ! Fried chicken skin, fried chicken, ice flower fried dumplings are very crispy, danzi noodles, oyster omelette, oyster noodles are very filling and rich, and finally the matcha red bean steamed buns are delicious, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and there are many Taiwanese drinks that are outstanding. Will invite friends to eat again!

The food is delicious and the staff very friendly. Highly recommend it.

Delicious food, definitely recommend!

The best restaurant in china town! Service is always warm and welcoming, the atmosphere is fun and casual and the food is always a 10/10. Must try - Sweet Potato’s with Plum seasoning and their iced teas Favourites - Any Korean Fried Chicken & Braised Tofu Will need to try the cocktails sometime 👀

Highly recommended for those who miss Asian food.

A highly recommended Taiwanese restaurant in Birmingham, very delicious~

Saladas were really good but the beef meat was overcooked.

Remember to check the bill everytime as we've been to there several times but the bills are always wrong with some extra charge.

The place is so dirty but the food is ok.

Need to wait 30 mins and you will get a perfect Raw meat. Salty soup, give up walk away.

Their service was awful, and the food was just ok. Also, I wouldn’t recommend anyone to order okra.

Very nice food. Very nice and friendly empolyees. 10 out of 10 points!

It's really delicious! The dishes in the blind spot are all delicious, the fried chicken!!!!!!!!! But I don’t know if it’s because the store is too busy or because other people’s attitude towards us is not very good🥲 There is one missing dish that is still missing. answer

We were a table of 9 and the food came out in good timing. Staff were fantastic and served us with a smile 😊 food were delicious I recommend everything. The starters were decent size and the mains were big! The mixed grill is a deffo, please go for it!!! If you think the mix grill is too big then go for the beef short rib only. It was cooked to perfection 😍😍. We enjoyed the sesame salads and wasabi okra salad. I enjoyed the miso seafood udon as well it was creamy and had decent amount of prawns and squid😍 Honestly, we ordered so much I am in food coma while writing this 😂

This is my second time to visit and try the authentic Taiwan and Japan / Korea cuisine. To be honest, I got some trachea discomfort. However, waiter and waitresses ( boy speak mandarin, girl speak Cantonese), they are super nice and proactive if there is any need during the meal. Of course the smile and CS skill is quite good standard. For the food, they are in good standards and you will want to try them next time . Yummy The music and atmosphere is also fantastic You can soaked into the chilled and relax feeling very easily. I like this restaurant and would highly recommend to people who will visit Birmingham China Town. Hope next time I can visit again when I go to Birmingham ♥️ Appreciate all the staff hard work .💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👍

Fabulous place to eat and spend good time on Birmingham's map. Food was super tasty (great Tofu!), so many interesting options to chose, big portions and super nice service. We were welcomed and served by Jaconda(I'm really sorry if I spell it wrong xx): outstanding, super warm and very very helpfull. Me and my friends will definitelly come back! 👍

Taiwanese certified that the Taiwanese flavor reduction degree is 95%👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

*Update* The shop owner could not accept the comments and instead verbally attacked fellow Taiwanese. As a Taiwanese, they are definitely insulting Taiwanese cuisine. This is the worst Taiwanese cuisine I have ever had. You can come to try if you wish to waste money.

We went for dinner because we used to see the place always full and we were not disappointed. The food was very tasty, the service was very good with the girl being very friendly and making good recommendations. The price was less than we expected to spend and we ate to our heart's content. Excellent place, we will definitely be back.

Never come again! There is not a single meat in this dish to eat, but we wanted to refund but were rejected. The service attitude is very poor, there is no apology throughout the process, and we have been ignoring our reasonable requests. As consumers, I am very angry, not only because of the quality of the dishes, but also because of their service attitude!!

A disaster of a BBQ platter ruined any good impression and we won't be going back next time. The restaurant manager's apathetic attitude in the face of customer complaints, choosing not to deal with the problem, and this poor crisis communications and treatment of customers are reasons why I would not recommend this to anyone. Unless you enjoy the poor service!

I really found it interesting. First of all, I politely asked if the roast beef in the barbecue could not be chewed. He said that he could only re-roast it for us once, so I agreed. Then when it was served the second time, it was re-roasted a little bit. There were no traces of it. When I asked the waiter again, they would only tell me that the meat was like this. After we expressed that we did not accept this explanation, they started to ignore us and did not even apologize. During this period, we wanted to talk to the manager of the restaurant. Communicated but a person who looked like he was not the manager also said the same thing and said I was very busy and had to go serve other people. It was really interesting to me. First of all, when I politely asked if the roast beef inside the roast could not be chewed, he said that he could only give us a re-roast. I agreed. Then when I came back the second time, not only did there appear to be no signs of re-roasting After we said we didn't accept this explanation, we didn't apologize at all. During this period, we tried to talk to the manager of the hotel, but someone who was not the manager at first glance said the same thing and said I was busy and I had to serve other people.

I went there mostly every week after I finished work during the weekend. They have varying Asian cuisine food such as Taiwanese food, Korean food and Japanese food. Moreover, the price is very friendly for students as well.

Was served by Jacarenda (apologies for poor spelling). We had beef noodles and chicken and curry. We also tried takoyaki and chicken skins for starters. Really yummy food, very light. Sometimes it can be acquired taste but these flavours were yummy even if you’re not used to Asian foods. Service was excellent, came to check on us and have a chat and even asked if we were happy to use chopsticks.

Fantastic service with good recommendations, food is different in a good way.

A new style of eating for me. Supremely tasty. Food as hot as Hades (temperature-wise).

Sorry forgot to take photos. Food and service are good. I can’t see any staffing attitude problem. But I dislike the strong oil smell. I think they need to improve the ventilation. Moreover, the tables are sticky.

I'm visiting Taiwan soon, was in Birmingham and asked Google for a reccomendation... "There's a Taiwanese restaurant 200m ahead". Though the place was busy (18:00 Tuesday), I was instantly welcomed, advice in choosing from the extensive menu given and service was swift, with a smile. I had the braised beef w/noodles - very tasty sauce, and Winter Melon Punch - a first for me - again very tasty. This solo visitor was properly looked after and I can't understand the negative comments about the staff given in some other reviews. Prices were reasonable. The only downside for me was the choice of music - then I must have been more than twice the age of most of the other diners - so I guess it's a generational thing. I'll be back.

The waitress wearing glasses had a bad attitude and looked impatient. I didn’t expect to get very good service, but at least I didn’t expect a rude waiter to take my order. After I finished ordering, I no longer wanted to eat in this restaurant. After ordering, I asked the waiter to pour two glasses of water. The waiter told me that there were no glasses. ok fine A restaurant has no cups. Ten or twenty minutes after I placed my order, the waiter told me that the dish I ordered was no longer available. He had already waited for so long before he told me that it was not available. At that time, there were only three tables of customers in the store. After the dish is served, the rice is soft and there are only three to five pieces of meat. You can experience it for yourself.

As soon as I entered, I was already smelling strong oil fumes... No pork, no beef noodles, no barley, basically five kinds of wild food, I want to try two of them... The taro milk tea is very chemical, but the waiters are polite. Within ten minutes after eating, I was already going to go to bed... I had a little stomachache...

I was worried about the service level after reading the online reviews, but when I came here I found that there was no problem at all, the attitude and the speed of serving food were both very good. The taste is very Taiwanese, and you can taste the care put into it. But the seasoning is overall on the salty side (maybe because I have a light mouth). The menu is so thick that you have to decide on a theme before deciding what to order. The portion size is bigger than expected. All in all, I highly recommend giving it a try. It’s good as an izakaya or a Taiwanese snack bar, but it’s best to book a table in advance.

First time trying them, service was good, food wise it’s was okay, standard meal, was thinking to order the beef noodle but sold out! The drink was not good at all, the soya drink literally tasted like water, not a bit of soya taste in it! Might not return!

Really good experience here loved the sake, seafood pancake or omelette wasnt to my liking though but great staff and great food made up for it!

Food is fantastic but there’s not enough staff to serve during lunch hours.

食物沒有到很正宗但味道跟價錢算可以。只是餐廳有其中一個不知道是不是老闆娘的人，態度很可怕，還當場聽到她大聲怒罵自己員工，但那時外場只有員工一人要招呼超過10枱客人。自己人手不足也不用生氣到連客人也知道，畢竟客人想用輕鬆愉快心情去用餐吧！ Foods and the price are fine but the service is terrible.

Bad service. My son needs a cup of water to take the medicine, the waitress replied impolitly that they don't have any cup for me and neglected my further question. I complained and they explained because of too busy today, I don't think it is resonable to be treated in such manor.

我感覺不是很正宗，真的是台灣人開的麼？而且怎麼會有做成居酒屋的台灣餐廳。蚵仔煎裡面的生蠔不新鮮，腥味很重，我猜測冷藏了很久。以及這個不叫滷肉飯，叫控肉飯，中國的朋友不要上當了。滷肉飯是小顆粒的肉哦。豆腐還挺好吃的。總體我覺得食物和價格不是很對得上，如果他更便宜，我會選擇來這間店

Food is fine but the environment cleaning level is horrible. The sofa pad seems never been cleaned and the table was dirty

The food is not very good. The service attitude is really bad. Especially the waitress. When she asked for a bowl, she said there was no bowl, but she still asked a waiter for it. It will take a long time to serve the food. Waiters discriminate against mainlanders. There are two attitudes towards mainlanders and others.

Food is fine, with variety choices of well-made and authentic Chinese dishes. However, as many mentioned in other comments, we were quite confused about the attitude and service offered by the staff. They just kept us waiting for nothing when there were still plenty of vacant tables.

God I cannot recommend this place enough, the portion sizes, the pricing and good lord the flavours, all 10/10. If you like Japanese/Taiwanese food you will not be disappointed

Finally visited this place ! I always wanted to to here ! Nice friendly staff and food came out quite quickly to be honest ! Lots of variety of dishes that I want to try out !!! In the end , me and my friend shared the following: - Taiwanese teriyaki Rice Ball seasoned with Furikake and seaweed | 老台風味飯糰 x 2 - Oyster Mix Seafood Pancake | 蚵仔海鮮煎 - Taiwanese Fried Chicken Cutlet on the bone with Japanese Curry on Rice | 台式炸雞排咖喱飯 Would def come back here and try out the other dishes !!!

Lovely hidden gem! Had egg tofu with black pepper sauce and it was sooo yum 😋 highly recommend

Service can be a little slow when it's busy but absolutely worth the wait and excellent value for money. My favourite place to recommend people go to.

Formosa izakaya is the best Thai place in Birmingham. It is delicious, affordable, and has good portion sizes. If you are looking for somewhere to eat try it.

Disappointing service... The food was very slow and I felt ignored. Even requests for an extra set of cutlery (cus we wanna share) could not be fulfilled. But, the waitress was much nicer to my friend, which made me wonder if it was the accent that made the difference.......

Very authentic Chinese / Taiwanese food, many vegetarian options. Delicious.

they sat us down and we told them we were ready to order however they forgot about us soon after

服務態度和味道越來越不如從前了耶。 第一次來吃的時候是去年，有被驚艷到，真的很好吃。 後來會經常推薦朋友一起來。 後來發現，服務態度越來越差。 最近的一次去吃，味道超鹹我的天。 我們點了三杯雞和蚵仔煎，我和朋友都吃不下去了，太重了口味。 不知道是不是因為食材不新鮮，用調味料來遮蓋。 這次食物沒有吃完因為味道太重了。。。 而且服務生態度很冷淡，明明店裡沒幾個人，卻不來服務我們，點了喝的很久都沒上來。 。 。 真的很無語，之後應該不會再推薦朋友過來了……如果大家來伯明翰想吃中餐，大家可以去吃中國城的另外幾家粵菜和川菜，都比這裡會好很多喔

Great place for a bite before going to the hippodrome. Everyone was very welcoming here

Tried this place out today on the way home from work. The interior is nice and the staff are very friendly. The food is incredible and very reasonably priced. I had the pork cutlet curry rice meal and it was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Delicious food, pleasant service, and nice, down to earth atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable and there’s a great selection of dishes, from traditional Taiwanese options, mainland Chinese dishes, and great Japanese options too. Excellent vegetarian and vegan options as well. Highly recommend the three cups chicken, egg fried tofu, gua bao, and the garlic aubergines.

Visited after a show at the Hippodrome, chosen randomly because we liked the look of the menu as we were walking by. Small but very busy, they managed to fit us in and provided excellent service and amazing food. Bit of a hidden gem.

Waited nearly an hour for our food and absolutely no service with rude staff, dirty seats as well. Avoid at no costs!!!

I'm still in this fantastic restaurant as I write this because I have never been catered for like this. I have Coeliac Disease and as such, Asian cuisine in general is hit or miss with regards to availability. We came here for a birthday and the wonderful waitress told me that nothing was strictly gluten free and couldn't accommodate from the menu. But she had asked the chef if I would like something completely off of the menu. Again, this just doesn't happen, and we eat out a lot! I asked for something rice based with meat, trying to be as simple as possible. The waitress again was so diligent and caring about what I could and couldn't eat and spent a while going back and forth between the kitchen, she is fantastic! The chef then made me (and I apologise for not taking a picture, but I wuffed it down quick!) An incredible rice and fried chicken bowl with a plethora of onion, chilli and other ingredients and it was absolutely delicious! The fact that they didn't do the bare minimum is one thing, but to make me a complicated dish, requiring plenty of separate prep time with separate ingredients has completely humbled me. I did come during lunch time, so I can't imagine they could do this during dinner time, but they have got me for life now! Thank you so much to the lovely staff of Formosa Izakaya! You made me feel normal and not a nuisance!

Ordered braised pork rice, texture was good , but a little bit salty. The stir-fried 3 cup chicken taste is a little bit salty, lack of fragrance as compared to those at Taiwan. The soya drink was great, taste good. The staff were unable to tell which are their best seller and didn't bother to give any other words, instead just standing there looking at us silently. I think as a restaurant staff they should be able to know which are their top seller and keep the conversation with the customer on going. We don't feel the staff friendliness at all. But the other staff are friendly and able to give us some recommendations about the attractions nearby.

食物質素不錯： 點了 滷肉飯、鐵板麵、章魚小丸子、豬腳庫麵線 全部味道不錯（唯獨認為章魚小丸子可以加返啲章魚會更好） 但飲品很令人失望 點了2杯台式飲品，但兩杯都能喝得出是即沖包裝來的，珍珠的口感非常差 另外主要有兩位服務員，一位非常友善 但另一位態度非常惡劣 出菜的速度較慢，但個人認為可接受 特別一提，餐廳通風系統差 完膳後離開，滿身都是難聞的油煙味

Amazing food with good prices and nice staff. More people need to visit. The fried chicken is delicious.

If you love Taiwanese food, you have to visit, small shop not many seat. Braised beef noodles taste great, soup is rich, beef tender and soft, a little too heavy for some people, if this is the case, pick thick cut braised pork on rice, another brilliant choice.

之前食過幾次，以價錢計都可接受。但星期六特登帶埋朋友一家去食，真失望。兩點去到滷肉飯話冇，話因為供應商今朝遲咗嚟貨，但等緊上菜期間，新嚟嘅一台客叫又有返😔。上菜上得晚是基本的，最少半個鐘以上。但今次食物質素真係差咗，所有炸嘅食物，都好乾好柴皮。洗手間絕對絕對需要清潔。

A really nice restaurant. Amazing authentic Taiwan and Japan food.

Can't fault this place, reasonably priced quality food you can't find anywhere else. Dare say one of the best places to eat in Birmingham

Formosa Izakaya in Birmingham is a Taiwanese culinary gem. Their beef noodles are a revelation - tender beef, flavorful broth, and perfectly cooked noodles create a harmonious symphony of taste. Each bite transports me to the bustling streets of Taiwan, with an authentic and high-standard rendition of this classic dish. The attention to detail and traditional cooking methods truly set Formosa Izakaya apart. What's equally impressive is their reasonable pricing(£9.5), making this exceptional experience accessible to all. In my culinary journey across the West Midlands, Formosa Izakaya stands out as the epitome of Taiwanese cuisine. For those seeking an unforgettable and genuine Taiwanese dining adventure, Formosa Izakaya is the ultimate destination.

Relatively small, but good food at a reasonable price.

Most of the food we ordered were tasty and could meet our expectation.

作為香港人，我都想比多d分數支持下，但無奈依間野好難食，尤其是紅燒牛肉飯，飯濕到爆，牛肉同個湯底應該係淘寶買返黎的即食包，完全唔係台灣紅燒牛肉飯。 珍珠奶茶d珍珠更加唔掂，應該又係即沖果隻。 果度d員工或老闆都係後生仔女，無經驗，個人明白做生意係要賺錢，但唔好影衰台灣食物及飲品。 最後，四眼高妹態度極其差，黑面又計錯數，需要改善。 利申： 我冇收錢亦冇必要唱衰佢地，但咁做落佢只有死路一條。

I would highly recommend the fried chicken fillet curry rice, the chicken was beautifully succulent and crispy and it was well priced at £9.50. The braised beef noodle soup was lovely, the noodles had a good bouncy texture and the soup was full of flavour. The crispy spare ribs on hot and spicy thin noodles looked very impresive. The dish could have been more spicy, but the soup base flavours came through nicely. The ribs were very large and crispy and went well with the noodles. Another very good value dish. The Dann Zai noodles didn't stand out particularly much, so I would probably not order this next time. Service was very good, fast, friendly and welcoming. Would recommend for a casual quick lunch in town.

Tasty Taiwanese cuisine in a relaxed setting and eclectic decor.

Dining here has always been a great experience. Street or Arcadian carpark nearby. Decor welcoming and trendy, hasn’t changed a lot, colourful with various table heights and seating. Accessible for wheelchairs. definitely recommend calling ahead to reserve. Love how they are constantly making adjustments in the menu. Gives us another reason to return. A Birmingham Izakaya 5* must visit. Come sit amongst friends, drink, and share some sensational food.

Love the oyster noodles. Not much special about skewers and 'Dan Zai' noodles though. May try rice next time. Drinks not cold as it ran out of ice. Not sure if this happens often. Needs improvements on stability of supply.

What a fantastic place! Full of local Asian community, which is always a good sign. Very extensive menu, fast service and marvellous food. I would definitely recommend!

food is interesting. but the whole place is quite stuffy and hot. the bbq/smoke smell is very strong. cant stand it. had to eat and leave immediately.

This used to be one of my favourite places but i haven’t been in a while and after going I’ve realised a lot of things have changed. The food is actually really nice but it used to be better. The takoyaki balls are much smaller than they used to be and the omurice lacked the same flavour. While it is only a small place, having two waitresses on isn’t good enough and as a consequence they rushed us for our orders. The toilet was horrendous and dirty, as if someone had stood on the toilet seats and cobwebs above the sink. I’m really not sure if I’d return.

I’m pretty sure I was charged the wrong amount of money. We ordered braised pork on rice, takoyaki balls, seafood pancake, chicken skewers, steam pork dumplings, three cup chicken, boiled rice, sparking water and peach black tea. Based on the price on their menu, it should sum up to £55-£60. But I was charged £73.48. I asked for receipt but I was only given the bank transfer receipt, not a breakdown of cost. I suggest to ask for the breakdown of the cost!!!

Not sure whether the Taiwanese restaurant is authentic as all the waitresses spoke Cantonese. The oyster pancake was nice, the beef noodle was average
